As the wedding day reached its end, Li Xue and Feng Shufen waited to bid the last guest off. Taking the hearty congratulation, Li Xue gave a small nod of politeness as she saw them leaving. Once everyone left, she sighed and then turned to look at the man who looked as handsome as before. As if even that tiresome day as today wasn’t able to faze him. 

When Feng Shufen saw her staring at her, he asked, “What are you looking at?” 

Li Xue smiled and then took a step closer. Staring in his his eyes, she held his arms before squeezing it. “Nothing. I was just getting mesmerized at your strength.” She said, her intention was just to commend his capability and she thought that it was fine. 

But her brows jutted when she saw darkness come floating in his grey pairs. His eyes looked intensely at her and her skin felt burning under his gaze. Only then she realized that her words also held a second meaning that she had failed to notice. 

At once she pulled her hand back and scratched the back of her ear, avoiding his gaze. “I didn’t mean it that way. Can you please think in a decent way, dear husband?” She said but still felt Feng Shufen’s eyes on her. 

“Can you define what’s indecent between a husband and wife, dear wife?” She heard him say and feeling the loss of words, she turned to look back at him. She opened her mouth but then closed it back, not knowing what to say. 

Seeing her like that Feng Shufen smirked. Suppressing a smile, he said, “Furthermore, you can’t blame me for thinking your words otherwise. This is not your first time doubting my strength.” 

He said and Li Xue remembered which other time he was talking about. That time when she mentioned it in front of Kim Ryan, he heard her. Although she felt guilty then, she still held the upper hand over him. Then how come today she was feeling a strange embarrassment inside. A strong anticipation that was again and again bringing her heart to feel nervousness. 

“I … You know at that time, I was just …” Before Li Xue could even defend, he returned to her, shushing her words back. 

“I must have lacked somewhere. Don’t worry, today, I will make sure that you no longer hold any doubts in your heart.” Feng Shufen said and Li Xue eyes dilated at his words. Her face blushed while unknowingly she staggered a step behind. 

Feng Shufen held her with concern, and Li Xue quickly noticed the change in him. From the beast, once again he turned to look like the angel she knew. “You …”  𝓞𝚟𝓁𝐍𝔢xt.𝕔𝑜𝔪

Right then Feng Yi Lan came with Qi Shuai. Qi Shuai was still holding Feng DaoMing. “It was a hectic day.” Feng Yi Lan said, giving an appreciative smile to Li Xue. 

Li Xue saw the two and the little one in their arms. Getting herself back at her feet, she smiled back at Feng Yi Lan. “Definitely, it was. And since it’s done, I think you two should also go back and rest. Especially Yi Lan. In your situation, you shouldn’t tire yourself out.” As Li Xue said that, she took a step forward to take DaoMing in her arms.

But before she could even get her hands on him, Qi Shuai took a step back, creating distance between them. Li Xue didn’t understand the intention and her brows jutted in confusion. To which, Feng Yi Lan explained, “Don’t worry about me, dear. I have my husband. He will take care of me.” 

“And as for Little Ming and Little WeiWei, today we will together even take care of them. You don’t have to worry about them as well. Just go and enjoy *ahem* I mean go and rest for the night. You two must be more tired than us.” She said and Li Xue just stared at her with squinted eyes. 

Feng Yi Lan pretended to be all nonchalant to her gaze. Feigning innocent, she instead walked to her and said, “Aiyo! Don’t look at me like that. I am just concerned about you. Quickly go and have a rest. We have arranged a suite for you.” She said before gently pushing her forward in the direction. “Come on! Go, go.” 

She hurried, making Li Xue purse her lips. Li Xue looked at Qi Shuai and he immediately said, comfortably keeping the little one up in his arms. “Rest assured. I am taking this as a serious practice to be a good father tomorrow. You can rely on my learned skill. I won’t be a disappointment for sure.” 

He said and Li Xue couldn’t be more speechless. She shook her head at him and said nothing. Behind Feng Yi Lan turned to look at her brother. Seeing him following them with his signature poker expression, she took some steps back to get parallel with him. 

Once she walked with him, she spoke in a whisper. “You can appreciate me today, don’t you think?” 

Feng Shufen didn’t speak but turned to look at her. And under his gaze once again, Feng Yi Lan became cautious. Clearing her throat slightly, she spoke again, “Fine, don’t appreciate me. Take this as a wedding gift from your sister. But you better make proper use of this gift. Wedding nights have a significance and I want my friend to have the best one. So …” 

Before she could even complete it, the cold flash in the eyes of Feng Shufen made her shut her words.

“She is not just your friend, but also the matriarch of the Feng family and your sister-in-law. Watch your words when you refer to her.” He said and Feng Yi Lan no longer knew what she should say. 

She opened her mouth but then closed it. “Hey, I am her friend. Can’t I …” 

No, you can’t. She is my wife and I don’t allow anyone to disrespect her. Try, if you want to see the consequences.” Feng Shufen said and then walked away as if the rest was unimportant. 

Behind Feng Yi Lan couldn’t help but feel edged. “When did I disrespect her? Wasn’t I just helping you?”
